Cold temperatures will allow precipitation to begin as a period of overnight freezing rain and sleet Wednesday night. This will make roads slick and will likely be continuing into early Thursday morning until warmer air slowly transitions most areas to plain rain, with showers continuing Thursday.

In Northern New England, a period of snow is probable Wednesday night before a change to wintry mix, with some northern valleys remaining slick well into the day Thursday.
